Evaluation Part 1 - Brief

The brief i was working towards was to produce a British social realist film opening aimed at 16-24 year olds. the title of the film is 'Everyone Pays' we chose this because it gives the audience some kind of idea of what it is about. but they still don't know if it's about money or revenge so it has a double meaning and would make the audience think. in our opening sequence we meet the two main characters Tony and Michael we see them getting up and getting ready. The Tony (the boss) calls up Michael to ask him to come in to fire him but Michael doesn't want to so Tony does it over the phone.The final edit of our opening sequence sticks to our treatment we changed some thing like by adding in a split screen to give more of an contrast between the lives of the two main characters. The opening sequence explores the themes of British social realism because we see the social class divide between Tony (middle class) and Michael (working class). In my research it showed that normally it's about the working class struggling to do better and that middle class people are rarely in these films. so i thought it would be original to have one in the film and would serve as a counterpoint. http://labs11.blogspot.com/2011/03/final-treatment.html
